Perfect no notes 
It’s so funny to read this stuff knowing that Hexbear existed for years as a separate community before any of these people knew what lemmy was. It’s such a classic stupid person move to assume that everything came into existence the moment you became aware of it, always reacting as if your personal experience represents the natural status quo.
Breaking into someone’s house, taking a hot steaming shit in the living room, then whining about your day being ruined when you get kicked out and insisting it’s your house - the lemmitor way
i never got to do one of those old BBS raids or flamewars. september ass child crying about reddit being reddit. brigades, what a joke.

One of these things is not like the other dickhead. Imagine lumping in three linked instances of violently omnicidal settler monstrosity AND THEN A PEOPLE FIGHTING AGAINST OMNICIDAL SETTLERS. God fucking Damn Amerika, biblically.
the Overton window should remain in the middle
the middle of what mate
dude really thinks there's like an actual dial and one side says 'Left' and the other says 'Right' and it's imperative that the arrow on the dial points directly up at all times
the middle of what mate
the middle of maoism and dengism?
Once you actually defend and argue for the continuation of the Overton window "the Overton window" should be what you get thrown out of from at minimum a third story.
the overton window is a descriptive category isn't it?
The idea behind it is you limit the extents of the terms of debate.
It's why we get vigorous debate about the difference between blue Maga and red Maga to the point its the personal ifentity of like 30% of the country but if you suggest socialized Healthcare your a communist who isn't to be taken seriously.
The idea is this window keeps shifting right turning the debate into whether or not we throw minorities under the bus to appeal to racist whites and now suggesting that immigrants aren't the biggest threat the United States faces is now the ridiculous loony lefty position.
the overton window should be what i want to talk about

Idk what these people are on about, America and its proxies are the most fascist regimes on earth.
The number of people who don't grasp that Super Earth is the US is astonishing
Literally screaming about freedom and democracy while they're dropping chemical and nuclear weapons on other people

What's really incredible is their ability to say how we are evil propagandists with a straight face when probably 90+% of hexbears never/rarely interact with a single federated post and mostly just shitpost among ourselves
They really are like "Everyone who disagree with us are a conspiracy". Turns out it's the peoples constantly accusing us of being in an echo chamber who never had their positions challenged until now and couldn't take it when they finally were 😂 .

They are so smug and terminally lib that they think they don't have to study the political system of a country nor the conditions it exists in in order to understand it, they just need to check the vibes and they are suddenly a turboscholar on the politics and economy of a country they didn't knew existed 2 weeks ago.
In a way it shows how communist countries are treated at a much smaller level. They’re responsible for everything bad and every flaw they have will be held up to a microscope and magnified several times over to make them sound worse than they are .

didn't know this was a thing, will file away next to the obamacrons
Its not a thing afaik, I delved into my sleep deprived mind for the platonic ideal of a Hexbear shitpost and it came to me.
Honestly, I’m so weary of being open minded and tolerant.
Lol, lmao.
If instances can participate in asymmetric information warfare without reprisal, the Lemmy experiment has failed.
I am asymmetric information warfare, will some please by my failed lemmy experiment 🥺
But you see, if I post the gigachad xi image in a comment I win the argument and my stalin posting friends give me an upvote

This comment is brought to you by the Hexbear outreach program.
wtf there's a hexbear outreach program and yet I have not been contacted
edit: to clarify these are all different comments

They're still in their "posting shit on a friendly forum where everyone agrees with you is internet activism" stage of internet activism
Getting owned for my occasional bad takes has, oddly enough, improved my shrex life.

posting shit on a friendly forum where everyone agrees with you
B-b-but this is what hexbear is for me lol
That's fine, the distinction is (ideally) you don't think you are building your 0.0001% of communism by doing it
Lol yeah I have literally zero illusions that posting leads to any material changes. I just enjoy chatting with my comrades.
Whenever a tankie says someone's deeply unserious they're actually saying they want to kill that person
Everyone on there posts in this insufferable overly dramatic lib tone, it's the worst.
Oh my god these people make me laugh so much. It's just posting and yet they think they're part of some grand global movement to spread liberalism or defeat Russia or whatever.
It's just a forum lmao. these people are no better than Qanon Facebook groups calling themselves digital soldiers

ShowThese fucking nerds I can't. "MuH the Hexbear InForMaTIoN WarFaRE ThReAt". Bro, we are random peoples making shitposts on the internet and so are you, you need to calm the fuck down you're taking this way too seriously.
These peoples are so terminally liberal that they are unironically convinced that there is some secret Hexbear tankie conspiracy to take over the fediverse meanwhile in actuality we are just making posts about our opinions and interests and arguing about them with others the same as they are, our content is just ideologically different from theirs is all.
asymmetric information warfare
aka, people disagreeing with me on the internet
I abandoned an old account because Hexbear bullies followed me around and downvoted everything. Come to think of it, I haven’t posted a single thing since then, and I had a bunch of posts with hundreds of votes.
OH NO MUH UPDOOTS
Or you know... Maybe peoples saw your posts on their feed and downvoted because your posts were stupid or bad 🤷 .
And Hexbear don't have downvotes so this person is either lying or don't know what they are talking about anyways.
all this for being banned for a week for saying "shooting nazis makes you the same as the nazis"
this is so out of place and context (idrc about it) but how is a ban justified for a single opinion comment like that lmao
For the record and so people stop reporting it, user was comm b& for a week for posting this. Comment left up for those who want to continue dunking.update: I decided AutomatedPossum was right, ban is now permanent
I'm sorry I was too diplomatic in my response to the question. I've been gone a while, I feel like I need to "be civil" everywhere online. It wont happen again.
well there's the genocide of indigenous americans, chattel slavery, the hindustan famines, colonialism in general, and... i dunno, the dead romanov kids?
Don't get me wrong, America isn't good or anything. In the context of ww2, the allies were far better then the axis powers.
yeah i was just doing the not what they meant thing.
If someone is willing to defend nazis, and tries to "both sides" nazis and people fighting against them, they are a nazi and should not be welcome anywhere.
i have absolutely no insight into what is going through that moderator's head. i don't care to justify their actions on a board that i did not know about until i read that thread. i came to hexbear after r/cth got banned and then went offline for a few years so i don't know all of the lemmy drama lore.
i just think it's really funny that someone is this upset about being temporarily banned from a forum for being a tedious centrist loser.
Pro-nazi apologetics will not be tolerated, under any circumstance
the only problem i see here is that somebody who openly defended nazis was banned for just a week, that's way too lenient
"Not everyone you disagree with is a fascist, also you are a fascist"
IF lemmy.ml is admin’d by the Lemmy devs, themselves,
AND their ideology/prejudice is being obstructed by the Lemmy-verse,
THEN wouldn’t it be rational for them to engineer-in to Lemmy, itself, protections for their ideology?
Breaking the Fediverse’s ability to “manage” them?
or breaking the Fediverse’s ability to have any alternative-ideology be its core??
There's a specter haunting the source code of Lemmy
I wonder which ideologies are the most cool with you propagating the fruits of their labour without compensation
I would really love to hear what this person thinks could be done in the source code to achieve that. Or for that matter how exactly "the fediverse" currently has the "ability to 'manage' them" lmao
Being Open Source.
The software’s codebase is ideologically communist!
Their worldnews threatens to give me an aneurysm every time I look at it. So many "But waht about ebul dictators! Don't you know CHyna eat hot chip and lie?!?!?!" comments on every single article shared there. Those that go there to educate the libs have the patience of a saint.
.worldFunny how they have this vendetta against anything Hexbear related, but took forever to defederate the fascist and CSAM instances.
Lemmyworld can't defed lemmy without severing its relationship with the developers and that would be absolutely stupid and ridiculous to do. All effort from lemmy official development would go towards promoting something else.
If you don't like the developers the problem you have is with lemmy entirely. Use something made by liberals?
Oh yeah... The problem you have is that liberals don't want a decentralised internet. They don't want to challenge the corporations. They hold the ideology that put them in power in the first place.
So either suck it up and try to understand why it is that leftists are your only option for development like this, or piss off.
I was literally just going to comment this. They are trying to build their own lemmy, with blackjack, and java (and no tankies, I assume)
its hard to imagine the top minds at beehaw and lemmy.world pulling together enough resources and organization to reimplement lemmy from scratch, but I do think it's a non-zero chance they get it to work. All because they couldn't hang it in rust and can't stand dealing with commies
Imagining a software project where everyone believes they are the manager and no one is doing any work. This will surely show those Hexbears
To be real though, if they somehow succeed it'll just be good riddance, the annoying smuglords will fuck off to wherever and the intellectually honest liberals who are interested in having actual debates and ask questions instead of being a know it all smuglord (aka. the fraction of liberals who are actually worth interacting with) will still be there and above all will be able to talk with us without the discourse being polluted.
In fact now that I think about it, we should really find a way to encourage good faith liberals to talk with us and discourage smuglord behavior, I actually enjoy debating with liberals when they are arguing in good faith.

Yes, please talk more about this. People get too aggressive with libs who are good faith but just also philistine.
One thing to do is post a thread where you invite liberals to talk with you and set as a rule that everyone eschews unnecessary rudeness. It's gone well in the past, at least the couple of times that I've seen it done.
That's a very good idea, we should do that, maybe make it a periodic thing, a weekly megathread specifically to speak with liberals.
I still don't understand the point beehaw is trying to make with their instance or why they think federated systems work when they need to control all parts
I get Java could get them more devs but fuck why would anyone voluntarily choose it as their language on something new
"But you see, if I post the gigachad xi image in a comment I win the argument and my stalin posting friends give me an upvote"
This is a person who isn't mad lmao. Why are they all such nerds? They treat an internet forum like it's a sacred space for serious business. Then we arrive screaming emotes, covered in pig shit, causing all their nerd monocles to pop out.
they're responding to someone who got so mad at me for calling Christopher Gadsden and the founding fathers slave owners that he came into my DMs to complain about it lol. also i saw him being incredibly racist towards chinese people in another thread ofc bcs all these libertarian freaks are basically just white nationalists wearing a fake moustache and a trenchcoat to hide their true identity
I am continuing my belief that most of the people who don't like us are racists who don't like how we can see directly through their masks
And misogynists and transphobes and really any sort of bigotry that liberals learn to look past
It's important to be civil after all, as long as they aren't hurling slurs at me personally, why, it would be rude to call them out on their behaviour.
This place is like a big cuddle party 99% of the time.
Why the fuck the 'marketplace of ideas' crowd get so offended by us?
Utilizing materialism to form a coherent worldview is, unfortunately, Authoritarian
My bad, I forgot that pointing out the bad things and wanting better things is a personal attack on people that want to live in the potemkin reality. Dangit. I keep doing that.
Because their product in the marketplace of ideas fucking sucks, and the only way to sell it to people is to ensure there's nothing better to compare it against.
Seeing people generally get along online is to then like being HP Lovecraft and seeing either a fish or a Portuguese man.
